  1. An electrochemical process is planned where there is flow between two parallel electrodes. In order to properly design the system, an empirical correlation for the mass-transfer coefficient is sought. An aqueous solution containing 0.05 M K4Fe(CN6), 0.1 M K3Fe(CN)6, and 0.5 M Na2CO3 is circulated between the electrodes. The reaction at the electrode is.

[Fe(CN6)]3- + e- [Fe(CN6)]4- E0 = 0.3704 V vs. SHE

  1. For the conditions provided, which electrode would you expect to reach the limiting current first?
